At a low point in her life, Phoebe books a trip to a beautiful Newport resort she’s always wanted to visit. When she arrives, she learns that every other guest at the hotel is there for a wedding, including a very strong-willed bride who convinces Phoebe to join in. This book was much more thoughtful than the title and cover made it seem, though funny as well, and I loved the writing and characters.

“Witty dialogue is just a bonus in this engrossing read centering on complex women making life-changing decisions. Recommend to readers who enjoy Sally Rooney, Curtis Sittenfeld, or Elizabeth Berg.”―Library Journal (starred review)

“The Wedding People is so much more than a funny story (though it is very funny). Espach has penned a keenly observed novel about depression, love, the ways women make themselves small, and how one woman got over it. Fully realized and completely memorable.”―Booklist (starred review)

“A collision of diametrically opposed life events and general drama, the likes of which we haven’t seen since Maggie Shipstead’s Seating Arrangements. . . . Espach has an eye for the full gamut of emotions that go hand in hand with lifelong commitment, from humor to self-involvement to pathos.”―Elisabeth Egan, The New York Times Book Review
